INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 337-TA-739]


Certain Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters and Products Containing 
Same; Notice of Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial 
Determination Granting Complainant's Motion To Amend the Third Amended 
Complaint and Notice of Investigation To Add Coleman Cable, Inc. as a 
Respondent

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 47) issued by the presiding administrative law 
judge (``ALJ'') granting complainant's motion to amend the Third 
Amended Complaint and Notice of Investigation to add Coleman Cable, 
Inc. as a respondent in the above-referenced investigation.

Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW.,

on this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on October 8, 2010, based on a complaint filed by Leviton Manufacturing 
Co. (``Leviton'') of Melville, New York. 75 FR 62420 (Oct. 8, 2010). 
The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United 
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain ground fault circuit interrupters and 
products containing the same by reason of infringement of various 
claims of United States Patent Nos. 7,463,124; 7,737,809; and 
7,764,151. The Commission's notice of investigation named numerous 
respondents, including respondent The Designers Edge, Inc. of Bellevue, 
Washington (``Designers Edge'').
    On April 28, 2011, Leviton moved to amend the Third Amended 
Complaint and Notice of Investigation to add Coleman Cable, Inc. 
(``Coleman Cable'') as a respondent, asserting that good cause exists 
to add Coleman Cable because a press release on April 4, 2011, 
indicated that Coleman Cable had acquired the assets of respondent 
Designers Edge and is thus in a position to control the accused 
importation and sales activities of Designers Edge. Leviton argued that 
the inclusion of Coleman Cable will assist in developing a complete 
record, obtaining discovery, and affording effective relief, and that 
no undue prejudice to the public or to the existing respondents will 
result from the inclusion. No responses to Leviton's motion were filed. 
On May 19, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 47). None of 
the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 9, 2011.
William R. Bishop,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
